A.3 NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS<br />
A.3.1 British Standards Institution (BSI)<br />
BSI started in 1901 as a committee of engineers determined to standardise the number<br />
and type of steel sections in order to make British manufacturers more efficient and<br />
competitive. The BSI Group is now the oldest and arguably the most prestigious<br />
national standards body in the world and is among the world’s leading commodity<br />
and product testing organisations.<br />

A.3.2 International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO)<br />
The International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) is a worldwide federation<br />
of national standards bodies from some 140 countries.<br />
The mission of ISO is to promote the development of standardisation and related<br />
activities in the world with a view to facilitating the international exchange of<br />
goods and services, and to developing cooperation in the spheres of intellectual,<br />
scientific, technological and economic activity.<br />
ISO's work results in international agreements that are published as International<br />
Standards.<br />
